                          I'm trying to display my system uptime with i3status. This is what I have in my i3status.conf file:

    read_file uptime {
    	format = "%title: %content"
    	path = "/proc/uptime"
    }

However the output is in seconds, as can be seen in this screenshot, which is obviously not ideal:

Is there a way I am able to format this, to display for example in the format of:

    DD:HH:MM:SS
